Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists

I don't know what kind of specs you're looking for for your system, but I've been very happy with my netgate.

Though it's still close to $200 for the lowest model, but comes with support if your not really sure what your doing.

Netgate 1100 $189
